Natural Wines Oltrepò debuts in Milan with its first urban edition: NWO – Urban Harvest
After the success of the editions hosted among the rolling hills of Oltrepò Pavese, Natural Wines Oltrepò takes an important step and arrives for the first time in Milan with a
brand-new format: NWO – Urban Harvest, scheduled for October 5–6, 2025, at the Certosa District, the city’s new creative and cultural hub.
Natural Wines Oltrepò & Friends, founded by Jacopo Baruffaldi, is the first and only event bringing together natural, artisanal, and biodynamic producers from Oltrepò Pavese, along with their “friends” from across Italy. It’s an opportunity to discover unique labels, purchase your favorite wines, and enjoy cured meats, cheeses, and other regional specialties. A chance to meet producers, uncover the fascinating stories behind each bottle, and share a convivial experience in an authentic atmosphere.
Two sides, one event
Sunday, October 5th

Monday, October 6th

NWO – Urban Harvest positions itself as a platform for dialogue between the world of artisanal wine and the city, celebrating quality, sustainability, and independent food and wine culture. The format preserves the original spirit of the event while reinterpreting it with an urban character, in harmony with the regeneration and openness of the Certosa District.
